Thermocouples are two junctions of two dissimilar metal conductors. One junction is the sensing junction and the other is the reference junction. The voltage between the two junctions depends on the temperature difference between the junctions (Seebeck effect). The voltage can be measured and the temperature difference determined based on known readings of the voltage produced by the metals. If the temperature of the reference junction is known, then the temperature of the sensing junction can be calculated.

Why the cold junction in a thermocouple maintained at 0 degree celsius?
This maintenance ensures a constant Electro Motive Force E. A relationship develops between the EMF and the Neutral temperature by an equation.
How will insulation resistance change with rise in temperature?
Insulation resistance is temperature-sensitive. When temperature increases, insulation resistance decreases, and vice versa. A common rule of thumb is insulation resistance changes by a factor of two for each 10 DegrC change. So, to compare new readings with previous ones, you'll have to correct your readings to some base temperature. For example, suppose you measured 100 megohms with an insulation temperature of 30 DegrC. A corrected measurement at 20 DegrC would be 200 megohms (100 megohms times two).
What is temperature of ice in freezer?
If you mean the temperature inside a freezer, these are usually around -18 to -19 degrees celsius or 0 to -2 degrees Fahrenheit
What is notch sensitivity explain?
A measure of the reduction in strength of a metal caused by the presence of a notch.
How can i convert Hp to bar?
You don't. Hp and bar measure completely different things.
How a thermocouple device works?
a thermocouple is a sensor used to measure temperature under a wide variety of temperature ranges and condition
How do you measure the temperature of a furnace?
You could use a thermocouple.
Which materials could you use to create a thermocouple?
To create a thermocouple one needs thermocouple wire, a means of spot welding the wire, and wire strippers. A thermocouple is used to measure temperature.
What is the function of thermocouple?
The thermocouple does not actually measure temperature, but the temperature difference between two points. If the temperature at one point is known (reference junction) then the temperature of the other point (sensing junction) can be calculated.
What is the difference between thermocouple and RTD?
A thermocouple measures temperature difference between two points, producing a tiny voltage corresponding to the difference in temperature. To measure temperature with a thermocouple, you need to know the temperature of one junction and calculate the difference from the table or equation for the type of t/c used. An RTD changes resistance in response to temperature--to measure temperature with an RTD you measure its resistance (usually by putting a known voltage across it and measuring the current).
What instrument is used to measure molten metal?
For the temperature you can use a thermocouple or an optical pyrometer.
What is the metric unit for time and what instrument do you use to measure temperature?
Unit for time is a second.There are various instruments to measure temperature: a thermometer, a thermocouple are two.
Is thermocouple a temperature measuring device?
No, by itself a thermocouple can only measure temperature difference between two points (junctions) in a circuit. To use a thermocouple as a temperature sensor, you must know the temperature of one junction by some other means. Often an additional temperature sensor is used. However, in some applications temperature difference is enough. For example, in gas appliances a thermocouple detects presence of a flame because the flame is much hotter than room temperature-- you don't need to actually measure the flame temperature. ====================== Yes, it is. If you look up "thermocouple" in Wikipedia, you will find a very detailed explanation of how and why they work.
Thermocouple instruments are also known as?
The thermocouple is a sensore used to measure temperature. The thermocouple are made with two wires of different metals. joined together at one end to from a junction the thermocouple outputs in a a Milli volts .
What kind of probe would you attach to a thermocouple or thermistor to measure the temperature inside an oven?
Air Probe.
What does a thermistor do that makes it different from a thermocouple?
a thermistor is a temperature sensitive resistor - to measure temperature you must measure its resistance and convert that resistance to equivalent temperaturea thermocouple is a temperature sensitive voltage source(i.e. battery) - to measure temperature you must measure the voltage across it and a reference thermocouple at a known constant temperature connected in series with it and convert that voltage to equivalent temperatureNote: Thermistors do not require reference thermistors, thermocouples do require reference thermocouples at a known constant temperature. Thermocouples are more linear than thermistors, making them easier to read accurately. Thermocouples are available that are far more sensitive to small changes in temperature than thermistors.
Can a mercury thermometer be used to measure temperature between 500 and 600?
No, you need another type of device as a thermocouple.
